Maybe Atkins has been right all along..

NY Times: "If you work out the numbers, you come to the surreal conclusion that you can eat lard straight from the can and conceivably reduce your risk of heart disease."

(Yeah, free reg with NYT required. Thanks to benzado for the link.)

Update: Counterpoint from CNN medical correspondent: Neither conventional nutrition nor Atkins are entirely correct, though both have valid points.

This could be very useful..

bradfitz has added yet more LJ functionality: the ability to add RSS feeds as friends. I don't know what this means on the back end, but it does mean, for example, that you don't have to read slashdot at slashdot.com anymore--you can read it from your friends page. (He's added a few such sites manually to the database; avva is creating a UI to let paid users create similar feeds.)

I'm looking for a host..

I need:

Web hosting

At least 50MB storage, preferably more

Remote linking

Unlimited/high limit on transfers (posted pix in LJ communities take some heavy hits)

FTP access

POP3 email

Good reputation/uptime

Low cost

Any suggestions?

Woo! Visor HotSync returns!

Via the method of "Clear it all out, put it all back"*, my Visor syncs again! Woo!
(Not only that, but the software is now in Program Files\Handspring instead of Program Files\Palm! Not really important, but a nice touch. :)
Now, let's just see if it keeps working.. otherwise, there are a few more steps I could try before having to call up tech support by phone.

* Uninstall Palm Desktop, remove Visor/USB Device/etc from Device Manager, delete any visorusb.* files, rename any OEM#.inf files mentioning VisorUSB or PalmUSB, unplug device, reinstall Palm Desktop.
